fig. 3 (!)only functions when the ignition is
switched
on. T o prevent engine damage, please
observe the following notes about the tempera
ture ranges.
Cold range
If o nly the LEDs in the left area of the gauge turn
on, the engine has not reached operating tem
perature yet. Avoid high engine speeds, full ac
celerating and heavy engine loads.
Normal range
The engine has reached its operating tempera
ture once the LEDs up to the center of the gauge
turn on under normal driving conditions . The
LEDs farther to the right may turn on if the en
gine is under heavy load or the outside tempera
ture is high. This is no cause for concern as long
8
as the. indicator light in the Infotainment dis
play does not turn on. If the red LED in the rig ht
s ide of the display and the. indicator light in
the d isplay turn on, the coolant temperature is
too high ~page 12.
CD Note
-Auxi lia ry headlights and other ac cessories in
front of the cooling-air intake impair th e
cooling
effect o f the coolant. T his increases
the risk of the engine overheating during
high
outside temperatures and heavy en
gine load.
- T
he front spoiler also helps to distribute
cooling air correctly while driving. If the
spoiler is damaged, the cooling effect will
be impaired and the risk of the engine over
heating will increase . See an authorized
Audi dealer or authorized Audi Service Fa
c ility
for assist ance.
Fuel level
The indicator@ only funct ions when the ignition
i s sw i
tched on. If the fuel level drops below 1.9
gal (7 L), the left LED will light up red and the~ .,.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine indicator light will turn on ¢page 16. The bot
tom LED blinks red when the fuel level is very
low.
The
fuel tank capacity of your vehicle is listed in
the Technical Data section¢ page 299.
0 Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp
ty.
The irregular suppl y of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfi res. Uncom
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys
tem. Th is can cause overheating and damage
to the catalytic converter.
